Google Pixel Buds Pro

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Connect

Google Pixel or Android 6.0+

1. Open the Google Pixel Buds wireless charging case. Ensure that the earbuds and charging case are charged (white status light outside) and keep the case next to your phone.
2. Make sure your phone is unlocked and your Bluetooth® and Location are on.
3. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the wireless charging case until the light starts pulsing white.
4. Tap the Google Pixel Buds pairing notification and follow the on-screen steps.

Other devices

2. Make sure your phone is unlocked and your Bluetooth is on.
3. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the wireless charging case until the light starts pulsing white.

Step 2: Fit

1. Make sure the eartip is firmly attached to the earbud and does not easily pull away.
2. Gently insert your earbuds. Left (L) and Right (R) indicators are on the earbuds. The earbud should tuck into the ear and you should slightly rotate it until it fits comfortably without any pressure.
3. Pixel Buds come pre-attached with medium eartips. If needed, try one of the different eartip sizes included. Ears are so unique that your left ear is likely different from your right ear.
4. You can also run a guided check to see if you have the best seal by using the Eartip Seal Check within your Pixel Buds settings.
